Review:
From the Back Cover:
‘Moving and absorbing’
Publishers Weekly
‘An anthem of hope’
Daniel Quinn
In her best-selling first novel, 'The Fifth Scared Thing', Stathawk created an unforgettable character: the ninety-eigth-year old writer and rebel, Maya Greenwood, who in the twenty-first century leads a successful movement against a totalitarian regime. Now, in 'Walking to Mercury', Starhawk tells the compelling story of Maya’s life – a story that spans the decades from the tumultuous sixties to the present New Age.
It is twentieth century California and Maya Greenwood is making a pilgrimage to Nepal to reclaim her connection with nature. Here she relives, in vivid flashbacks, her ecstatic unions with soul-sister Johanna Weaver and wild, impulsive Rio Connolly. Here she agonises over the fractured bonds with her sister and mother. Travelling through the landscape of memories is harder than Maya ever expected – an intimate secret stands in her way, and she must face it before she can breathe life into her future.
Rich in wisdom, humour, and the luminous power of nature, 'Walking to Mercury' emerges as an adventure of the inescapable forces that transcend all our lives and give them meaning.
Starhawk is the best-selling author of 'The Fifth Sacred Thing, The Spiral Dance, Dreaming the Dark 'and' Truth or Dare.'
